I recently setup a SATA RAID1 box on a highpoint controller. The machine is playing very nicely with FreeBSD and doing much better than I initially expected. Now I'm considering upgrading a SCSI system to another SATA RAID 5 system. Can anyone tell me about SATA RAID 5 experiences? The company I'm looking at purchasing this from is using the Highpoint R1820 controller. SATA= "putting the 'I' back in RAID" or "magic 8 ball says, 'Ask again later."? For reference on the decision making, the present machine is setup on an Adaptec 3200S with all but one of the partitions as RAID1 and the last one as RAID5. All the drives in the present system are SCSI SCA 10k RPMs I believe. The machine is primarily an apache 1.3/freeBSD 4 web server doing 25-30 MB of web traffic at peak 17-20 MB on Average. Gerald
